by Rebecca G. — Delta 9 PA Greenburg

Autism is a spectrum of conditions characterized by challenges with social interactions, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. Autism affects 1 in 44 children. Medical marijuana can help those with Autism. Here is a list of strains that are best for Autism:

Afghani

Afghani is an Indica strain with sedative properties. This strain can also possibly alleviate autistic aggression, anxiety, and depression.

The Wife

The Wife is a high CBD strain for those who see moderate or little heady/cerebral effects while maintaining a sense of relief.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is a hybrid great for getting things done while also potentially knocking out pain. 

L.A. Confidential

This strain is a strong Indica that can provide a body-numbing, relaxing feeling.

Lemon G CBD

Lemon G is a sativa-dominant strain that is known to produce both uplifting and relaxing effects. With a balance of CBD and THC, this strain is great for daytime focus or anxiety.

The best terpenes for Autism are Linalool for it's anti-anxiety and sleep-promoting activity, Myrcene for it's pain leveling and anti-inflammatory effects, and Limonene for its ability to relieve stress.

The best cannabinoids for Autism are CBD for its non-psychoactive, calming properties, THC for its pain leveling and appetite stimulating qualities (THCV can cause a decrease in appetite), and CBG for its muscle relaxing and digestive aid properties.
